I have an older model Epson tw-5820. So this new Epson projector also has 2 remotes. The android tv dongle that came with the projector has its own remote in case you want to use it on another display. I have no need for it as I'm using Nvidia Shield TV pro. The lack of proper audio out that supports surround sound is a big letdown. But i suppose it's to keep the projector more affordable.
Very nice review! I have it. Screen quality is great, but 2 biggest cons are: lack of audio output (bt only with dongle Connected) i bought hw hdmi audio extractor, and lack of celling screws...
Thank you for your reaction. Yes, it would be nice if projector had at least two HDMIs or some kind of optical audio output. I have used HDMI ARC with my soundbar or you can use audio extractor as you have wrote. Well and then celling screws... again they would be nice to have, but it can be done even without them.
Hello! Could you be more specific in describing what you did to connect a better audio option? I ordered it a few days ago and I think I did not do all my reasearch work properly :( So practically what would be the best options to get a better sound? Thank you in advance!
@@andre41184 Same question here lol. I've been trying so hard to try to connect my soundbar to this projector to avoid the bluetooth (it sounds great but I notice a little bit of delay, like few miliseconds). But I can't figure out how to connect the SmartTV stick and sound bar with only 1 HDMI :(
@@_ArchosHi! Have you found a way to do this? Because I want to connect a soundbar and PlayStation at the same time, but I don't know how. Thanks you!
@@luigifrezza4576 Hi there! I could fix my issue with the delay but I'm afraid I can't help you if you want to try to connect your PlayStation and a soundbar at the same time, sorry :(
And not one reviewer will say that on this line of Epson CO FH 01,CO FH 02,CO-W01 and other new generation projectors, the lamps cannot be replaced in principle, that is, if the lamp fails, we throw out the projector!!!!!!!All reviewers are silent and carry an advertising blizzard!!!!!
Very good review, also very good that you talked about the power consumption of this projector, especially imported these days with high electric price. I my self use a LG led projector for ordinary tv replacement, that is only 720 p ( HD reddy) but sufficient for watching talk shows etc, this LED projector consumed only 45 watt for 550 Ansi lumen light output, sufficient bright to make a 90 inch projection. This Epson wil be brichter but at higher electric bill, and eventually the xenon lamp will burn out around 12.000 ( LED is rated for 30.000 hours) what is the cost of a replacement lamp and IS it replaceble? Otherwise for movies a great solution, way nices than most flatscreen tv's
Hello, thank you for your comment. As far as we know, lamp is not replaceable. So you get apx. 12 000 hours in eco mode and that is it. That's still quite a lot if you don't use the projector non-stop.
Are you use LG PH510/550? I have LG's PW600 with 600 ANSI, 720p...still great after 6+ years. I'm looking for the upgrade. Still considering ALDP projector...
Hey, can you tell me how did you manage to connect your soundbar to this projector at the same time of the SmartTV stick (which needs the only HDMI port available + usb Port) ? I'm trying to connect both Soundbar+SmartTV stick since I notice a little bit of delay when I use bluetooth with the soundbar. Thanks in Advance !! Great review
Hi there ! @@filmformuk . Nope I couldn't find a way to connect 2 different devices to the unique HDMI port but... read this: After 1 week thinking about what could I do to fix the delay... I randomly tried to watch a movie by streaming it from my mobile (for example with netflix app). Once I was watching the movie on my projector through my mobile I could get a huge increase in volume level (because the delay wasn't only my main problem... I also had an issue where with the bluetooth connection I was getting a pretty low max. volume with the sounbar). So, it seems that after I streamed a movie with the mobile phone (just once), the max volume quality was unlocked ( do not asked me why xD; but it was a relief for me). I mean, after that one time watching a movie with the mobile; I no longer use the mobile to stream ... just the projector. After this issue with the volume was resolved... the only thing annoying me it was the delay. Then I realized there were some additional settings with the projector Remote Control: If you use the Sound control button (the button with a gear), you will find the "AUDIO SYNC, NIGHT MODE" and "VOICE ENHANCE" . I turned those 2 to ON (since they were previously off). And somehow, after doing all these things (streaming with mobile + AUDIO SYNC ON + VOICE ENHANCE ON)... I would swear I no longer notice the delay and I got the max volume level the soundbar can display. I Hope this also works for you. I'm sorry I couldn't find other ways to connect them to a single HDMI Port. Good luck.

thanks for the solid review. question - you'd said if it ceiling mounted you turn it upside down.How does one compensate for the upside down image? Is there a way to flip the image ?
1. Turn on the projector and display an image. 2. Press the menu button on the projector remote control. 3. Press the arrow buttons to select the Settings > Installation > Projection setting and press Enter. 4. Select the projection mode you want to use and press Enter. 5. Press the menu button to exit the menu or the return button to return to the previous screen. Note: You can also press and hold the A/V mute button on the projector remote control for about 6 seconds to flip the image upside-down
Hi, I have a question, only 1 HDMI, so I won't be able to keep the android TV dongle plugged, while connecting another HDMI like a laptop? will I have to unplug the dongle every time? (not convenient when it is ceiling mounted) Thanks!
I just dont understand how a 3200 ansi lumens projector seems to perform the same in bright daylight as a cheap 100 ansi lumens one: totally washed off.
In my experience, few people will use the eco made. That cuts down lamp life quite abit. Personally, I would NEVER buy a projector with a lamp I could not replace. Exception being a laser type.@@edsystemeu

Thank you for your comment. Yes two remotes could be also a nice thing if you decide to use dongle somewhere else. Thats a good point.
I watch tv and play video games in my basement so a projector like this would be sweet

Shocking, expensive disposable
or ship to service for lamp replace!...
Yes you are right. Lamp cannot be replaced (at home). In theory it shouldnt be a problem due to a long lamp life. But it is a disadvantage.
твой комментарий был для меня очень полезен..
Noise level is significantly higher than factory specs!
Normal: 37 dB (A) - Economy: 29 dB (A)
In this projector the brightness is 3000 LED luman or 3000 ANSI luman
There no LED projector that produced more than 600 ANSI
@@arx117 Everycom HQ10W hits 800 ANSI lumens.

How to connect it wirelessly in a laptop? all I could see is to connect to an android phone
I am looking for this too
thx for the review. Is the lamp bulb replaceable, and do you know the exact millisecond response time? Couldn't find the response time on their site.
Nope, it's not replaceable. Once it reached its lifetime, it's gone.
@@_Archos its replacable by epson service

Hi, I have a question, only 1 HDMI, so I won't be able to keep the android TV dongle plugged, while connecting another HDMI like a laptop? will I have to unplug the dongle every time? (not convenient when it is ceiling mounted) Thanks!
I need it just for watching movies in dark room with whole empty white wall. Would you recommend it for that use case?
Yeah of course. You don't even need a full dark room. It has the capacity to get a pretty good image even with some light.
@@_Archoswhen the room isn't fully dark, the image is a little bit wishy-washy.
Can anyone recommend me a ceiling mount for this projector, plz?
Does this have to be placed in the middle of the room?
I am wondering if i can use this as a portable, if i have an extension cord.
Yes, you can.
Can i use it with usb powerbank?
Unfortunately I couldn't connect the pendrive 😢😢😢
Thanks for the review, are you able to ceiling mount this model?
Yes, you can. I've done it.
This model comes without holes for ceiling mount.
When we press close button is the fan close instantly same time with the bulb or the fan close after the bulb cooled? Thanks.
If you mean whether the fan goes on for some time after projector is turned off - no. There is no delay.

How did you get android tv to work ?
I did not find how to connect mine
Do you have some problem with Android TV stick / dongle?
How well does this work in daylight with windows open?
Pretty good imo. It has pretty decent lumens.
Is it normal for the power cable connection on the projector to wobble?
It holds but it is not super strong. We would prefer some kind of locking mechanism.
How can I connect a speaker via bluetooth
If you explore the settings you will find the way to link bluetooth devices
